Carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
A
pulmonary vein
B
aorta
C
coronary sinus
D
venae cavae
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -They’re the only arteries in your body that carry oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood. Your main pulmonary artery (pulmonary trunk) leaves your right ventricle at your pulmonary valve. It soon splits into your right and left pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to each of your lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left side of the heart. This differentiates the pulmonary veins from other veins in the body, which are used to carry deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body back to the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium of the heart. The anatomy of the pulmonary veins is variable with some anatomic variants. In clinical practice the difference between the normal anatomy of pulmonary veins with its variants and abnormal anatomy is very important for clinicians.
